spudski Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Wonder why the board never backed Del on this? Without looking... apart from Elokobi on loan and Kilkenny, everyone of our players is British. Open to correction. Which is quiet unusual in this day and age. I get the feeling our board aren't too fond of going down the 'foreign' route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo 'Livi' Red Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Creativity from a City midfield... Come on I think it must be part do getting a Managers job at the Gate.

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 ^ both were born in England and Adomah has played for Ghana as you have said and Elliott has said he would play for Jamaica if the opportunity was there as he wouldnt get in the England team and wants to play international football, he might of played a freindly but not that i know of.

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Problem is we would have to wait until Jan so a good prem loan until then, maybe O'Niel not sure if he plays for West Ham, James ward-prowse from saints great potential and hes a goal scoring midfielder.

spudski Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 The point i was trying to make, was that most of our squad are used to a British culture and type of football. Bringing in players from a foreign league seems a dim and distant past. Even Udinese 2nd ( Watford ) have settled quicker than us...after a massive overhaul and foreign influx. How the hell does that happen...yet we still limp along? It does make you scratch your head and think.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketh2nd Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Not watched the game or Buzaky play for a while. Though I wouldn't be surprised if we were very interested in signing him in the summer but could be Del then found strikers he wanted and preferable to have the formation 4-4-2. so therefore Busaky possibly only being plan B? All just a guess mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours has deteriorated to farce in recent years. Look at the Styvar debacle. Things like that put the money men off signing too many foreign players.

Without looking... apart from Elokobi on loan and Kilkenny, everyone of our players is British. Open to correction. Which is quiet unusual in this day and age. I get the feeling our board aren't too fond of going down the 'foreign' route. Was DM actually interested? Was AB actually interested? Would our manager/board not see the difference between a player who has played 200 games in England and one who scored a goal once against Aston Villa? Perhaps more likely that: a) SL bored of funding talented players that DM can't/won't fit in the team; and b) DM realises that Ricky Foster has a far superior work rate which more than makes up for any talent deficit Having said that Bolasie was born in France which plainly explains why he can play every week in a winning team for Cosmopolitan Crystal Palace but could expect no more than cameo appearances for British Bristol City. Furthermore, the referee at Peterboro plainly acknowledged that the assault on Cunningham was motivated and fully justified by the fact he was born in the Irish Republic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is quiet unusual in this day and age. I get the feeling our board aren't too fond of going down the 'foreign' route. Well after getting burned by the likes of Styvar and Saborio Gary Johnson did say they would be very careful about foreign signings in future, and maybe the board have stuck with that. We don't have much of a scouting network and I guess they feel the risks outweigh the potential benefits for us. It might be worth taking a bit of a punt in this direction, though, since we can't afford the British-based players of the required calibre.
